Union County, NJ– The Union County Board of Chosen Freeholders is proud to announce the dates for the upcoming Summer Arts Concert series and highly anticipated Family Fun & Flix film series.

“Our free summer events are sure to have something for every member of the family to enjoy”, said Freeholder Chair Bette Jane Kowalski. “I look forward to a summer full of outdoor entertainment and activities to bring our county residents even closer together.”

The fun begins with Family, Fun, and Flix on July 9 at 7:30 p.m. at Wheeler Park in Linden. As part of the evening’s events, UC Get Fit, a health initiative of the Union County Freeholder Board, will offer fitness fun for kids before the movie. Immediately after at dusk the movie A Dogs Way Home will begin.

The following is a list of Family, Fun, and Flix movies throughout the summer at Union County Parks:
